Universal well-being assessment for families A path to more coordination and better health outcomes Helen Bellanca, MD, MPH Maternal Child Family Program Manager Health Share of Oregon May 6, 2014
A little background Legacy midwifery clinic approached Health Share to ask for help integrating mental health services into prenatal care We piloted a risk assessment to understand the problem and make a business case
Legacy midwifery data 2013 Medicaid (59%) 29% Commercial (41%) 44% Can identify a PCP Entered care in the 1sttrimester 79% 93% didn t want to be pregnant or bad timing 36% 24% Worried about having enough food safe housing 11% 16% 2% 5% Feel depressed Feel anxious 27% 33% 12% 14% Domestic violence 8% 2% Binge drinking Used illegal drugs 8% 28% 12% 14%
Meanwhile, back at the ranch Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties began meeting to discuss a regional maternal child health strategy and relationship with Health Share Healthy Families program was expanded legislatively to include all families (not just first-time parents), but no increase in funding Early Learning Hubs began forming I was convening a subcommittee of the Oregon Perinatal Collaborative
What is the problem we are trying to solve? The primary issues complicating maternity care are mental health issues, substance use disorders, family violence, and poverty-related social problems Public health home visiting programs have limited capacity and need to connect with health care systems Early learning hubs and CCOs must work together Everyone agrees that addressing family risks as early as possible is key
Also Every public health program serving young families does some sort of risk assessment Health care providers do not know how to assist families needing social services We as a community do not have a good sense of exactly what the needs of our population are, and whether we are meeting them or not Maternity providers were wondering what they should take on next after success of 39 weeks initiative BabyLink in Clackamas county has shown us a model
BabyLink Resources for expecting and new parents and their families Call (971) 400-7832 or text "baby" to this number and we'll call you back.
BabyLink Home Visiting Programs Parent Education Classes Medical and Dental Care Information Insurance questions Linking you to resources in your community Single questionnaire to connect with any resources the families need.
What if We had a single universal family well-being tool that was used by: every clinic offering prenatal care every public health home visiting program all early childhood providers
We could use this tool to Coordinate care among heath care providers, public health, early learning communities Aggregate the data by county, region, CCO and state- wide to understand family needs and how they are changing Understand each other s worlds and operate more like a team Support health and well-being and not just service provision
What would we screen for? Strengths and assets (social supports, resources, PCP, dentist) Food insecurity Housing Family violence Depression and anxiety Substance use disorders Intendedness of pregnancy Need for parenting support Oral health
Alignment CCO metrics Depression SBIRT Prenatal care Integration of public health home visiting programs into CCO global budget Early Learning Hubs need for coordination of services
